On the 24th October, South African Fashion Week will open its doors to 53 Collections showing at our new home at Sandton City Rooftop, a spectacular venue surrounded by a skyline of modern architecture.

Now in its 20th year, more than 10 000 guests, including media and buyers nationwide, willattend the 32nd edition of the SA Fashion Week Collections.

This seasonâ€™s show schedule, once again, puts the spotlight on the diversity and innovation of the South African designers all residing and manufacturing in the country.

The schedule kicks off with the SAFW Sunglass Hut New Talent Search. Established by SA Fashion Week in 1998, the New Talent Search is one of the most recognised talent identification initiatives in South Africa where upp to 10 new designers are introduced to the retail market each year. Eight progressive upstart designers are all part of a new set of young designers that are accelerating the fashion dialogue locally.

This season saw the beginning of an exciting three year partnership between Cape Wools SA and SA Fashion Week, launching the first ever Cape Wools Designer Challenge for South African Designers.Find out more here
